  Yes.  The way depends on your definition of "node."  You can use:

    $parent/count(node())

If you want to count child elements instead, use:

    $parent/count(*)

  If I understand correctly, you want all the dinstinct names of the
child element of an element?  Try:

    dinstinct-values(*/name(.))
